How about something like:

\startuniqMPgraphic{draft}
  draw btex \bf DRAFT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white;
  currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlaywidth-0.5cm);
\stopuniqMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[draft][\uniqMPgraphic{draft}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft]

See MetaFun manual for details.
